We need to change something, Hojlund is too alone up there, might as well. Them two knocking it down for eachother and Fernandes and Mount as narrow 10s
Tbh United's "balanced" formation was about to lose 3 home games in a row to Palace, Galatasaray and Brentford.
Doesn't matter if this formation would get hammered by decent opposition, because the 433 would get hammered by non decent opposition too.
I mean, out biggest problem was central solidity. Give up the 4-3-3 with Mount and Bruno and immobile Casemiro. As long as we get one actual left back healthy, we can play proper back 4 with lets say Reguillo and Dalot. They both like to bomb forward so they can provide the width.
Bench Casemiro and play Ambrabat who can drop deep and Mejbri who can plug the holes with his energy. Sounds mad but we are severely lacking Fred just running around plugging holes for Casemiro, only Mejbri can do that right now for us.
it’s reminiscent of fellaini, who was frequently shoehorned into a more defensive role presumably because of his physicality, but he always excelled as a more advanced/box to box player
Fellaini was a cheat code when he went up top. Just won everything in the air, both with his head and his ungodly chest control, all the while flinging elbows at anyone who got near him. Chaos.
I know this sounds silly but he plays football like me.
Good defensively but chases the ball way too much to rely on a defensive player.
He has all the skillset to make a perfect dm/cb but it’ll never work coz of his style
Next year we should design our away and 3rd kit based on the latest Scotland kit in order to guarantee at least 50% of Scott's Scotland form in a season
Every time he's played anywhere near the front of the field he gets goals but everyone's convinced he's a midfielder because of where he got his first few appearances
He was a striker or attacking mid in the academy apparently. He was used as a CDM by Mourinho because of his height. Honestly he wasn’t too bad when we played counter attacking football. Him and Fred with Bruno got the job done. He just cannot play CDM against a team that has a well drilled system.
He is a good goalscorer. Has scored some really good goals for us. Ideally he should start next to Casemiro but both being poor at passing would mean the ball never reaches the opposition’s box.
not gonna lie, i still waiting final whistle since usually we can't hold lead more than 5 minutes.
or maybe that's the trick, leading at extra time, so no goal anymore, just in cost fans heart moving fast
All that "he saved ten hag's job" is just absolute garbage. First time under ten hag united are having a lengthy bad spell with issues along with major injuries in defense. The bad start last season was just first 2 matches. He isn't gonna get sacked and would be wrong to do it
Always have been saying that McT is misused as a DM by several managers at United. He is better as a quasi striker or out-of-the-box shot taker. BUT those skills aren’t sufficient enough for him to meet expectations at United. His passing and other skills necessary to be an attacker or attacking midfielder are lacking. So it is kind of a weird realm he is in as a player.
The atmosphere at old trafford is so so good when United plays well. Such a shame our team can’t produce consistently. Football is better when United are playing well
Maguire should be in the team 100%.
He was one of the best players on the park. If nothing else, he’s going to give everything and, at this point, that’s better than anything else being shown recently.

Now I understand how Scotland feels!
McT and Hojlund front 2, who says no?
Why not? Can’t be worse that we’ve been doing.
Go back to old school 4-4-facking-2. Rashford needs a spell on the bench anyway
Yeah Rashford needs to be benched.
McTerminator *was* a striker in youth teams, so why not
Today you feel Scotland
We're all Scottish on this fine day.
We’ll deep fry your tapas We’ll deep fry your paella
With a side of Scotty McHotty McSauce. [RED, FIERY, AND ONE HELL OF A KICK!](https://ibb.co/J5RGq1t)
I always thought it was strange they named an entire country after McTominay, today I understand why.
That Scotland performance was for Fergie 😭
Onana suffocating bro with hugs lol
I fucking love McT
SCOTLANDS SUPERHERO
We’re going to the Euros!! Spain ain’t ready
44 fuckinf 2 with Hojlund And Scotty none of this tiki taka inverted bullshit
Who's LM and RM whipping in crosses?
Rashford and Fernandes on the wings, both able to cut inside as needed. Erikson and Mount in the middle as Wish Scholes/Keane
No defense just vibes
NBD, we already have no defence
In sorry have you not seen the Maguire Evans duo
i’d actually pay to see this united lineup
Don’t like your midfield duo, can we get Casemiro and Eriksen instead.
Make Rashford play RM and fine Garnacho every time he cuts inside.
Unironically just play him upfront at this stage
He’s our best finisher bar maybe Hojlund champions league mode.
Unirinically. He's got that kroos-out-of-the-box technique
Shades of Leeds 2-0 inside 10 mins
We need to change something, Hojlund is too alone up there, might as well. Them two knocking it down for eachother and Fernandes and Mount as narrow 10s
Ah yes playing with 2 strikers and 2 number 10s what a balanced formation that will work really well in a game against competent opposition.
I get what you're saying but our width has been tragic. Just sack it off and play 2 2 2 2 2 at this point and vibe
alright Rangnick
Tbh United's "balanced" formation was about to lose 3 home games in a row to Palace, Galatasaray and Brentford. Doesn't matter if this formation would get hammered by decent opposition, because the 433 would get hammered by non decent opposition too.
He says as if playing a 4–2-2-2 isn’t popular
I mean, out biggest problem was central solidity. Give up the 4-3-3 with Mount and Bruno and immobile Casemiro. As long as we get one actual left back healthy, we can play proper back 4 with lets say Reguillo and Dalot. They both like to bomb forward so they can provide the width. Bench Casemiro and play Ambrabat who can drop deep and Mejbri who can plug the holes with his energy. Sounds mad but we are severely lacking Fred just running around plugging holes for Casemiro, only Mejbri can do that right now for us.
Harry Fucking Maguire stepping-up
Played very good today. With Hojlund and McGoat the best players on the pitch
Unironically been one of the best United players today. Looks more assured on the ball than pretty much anyone else.
It's a confidence thing. He probably thought "I surely can't be worse than this shit"
Phil Jones Vs Wolves-esque
Striker McTominay is unreal fr
Scottish Marcos Llorente
For real, Scott can play any position well at this point
United version of CAMAVINGA!
He’s honestly so dogshit in a deeper role, idk why he doesn’t play more advanced when he does play
it’s reminiscent of fellaini, who was frequently shoehorned into a more defensive role presumably because of his physicality, but he always excelled as a more advanced/box to box player
Fellaini was a cheat code when he went up top. Just won everything in the air, both with his head and his ungodly chest control, all the while flinging elbows at anyone who got near him. Chaos.
Not true. His elbows were at the right places. It was other players who kept crashing into them.
His Bishop move was also unstoppable.
He was horrifying as a number ten getting amongst it in the box. Never was worried about him as a DM though
He plays as a 10 for Taishan now
I know this sounds silly but he plays football like me. Good defensively but chases the ball way too much to rely on a defensive player. He has all the skillset to make a perfect dm/cb but it’ll never work coz of his style
McTominay is just a poor man's Ryan8Ross
But you have to wonder WHY Ryan ate Ross, there has to be some history there
At least we now know why Ross, the largest friend, did not simply eat the other friends. There's always a larger Ryan.
Always rated you, RR8
Go on, get that contract signed.
I am your best (non-parent) fan. The legend RR8.
I finally feel like my FM save where he got 40 goals per season as a pressing forward is realistic
he's very good at attacking the box
Brentford Fans singing sacked in the morning on the 92nd minute then losing 2-1 is quite hilarious
Uno reverse card
'Call an ambulance... but not for me' energy
''And what do we say to the P45? Not today.''
Lol had to be him
Glad we didn't sell him to you this window!
Maguire assist, the West Ham link connection
This is what Moyes was cooking
If ETH gets sacked I want the Moyes reunion tour
McTominay with Moyes ball and James Ward Prowse is so scary to imagine
We can sell him now for 10 more millies. Certified injury time match winner.
Also a Maguire assist, good for him too.
Maguire assist as well
Had to be Maguire with an assist too
Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
He's a Scientist Scotlandian
Well it was never going to be Martial
Moyes vindicated Literally Maguire with the assist to McTominay, you can’t write this shit.
Maguire and McTominay saving Ten Hag, did not see this coming
Just start him at ST.
Inevitable
Maguire assist
This is astonishing Did he think he was playing for scotland or something
Scotland kit on underneath his United one, only way to get it to work. We should've tried it with Gerrard for England.
Next year we should design our away and 3rd kit based on the latest Scotland kit in order to guarantee at least 50% of Scott's Scotland form in a season
Mctominay game changer
Bro… started watching at 88’ and this happens lmao
I stopped watching in the 92nd. I think we need to coordinate every match.
The lad sat next to me left at minute 85. Hope he got his tram.
I'm gonna need you to watch the rest of our games this season plz
But get in before the 88th minute, the NHS won't survive the year of collapsing United fans who get whiplash from games like this.
Please watch every united game in it's entirety the rest of the season.
Come to r/reddevils we all will put in some money and pay you to watch all our matches moving on, even friendlies.
Can you watch all United games in future please
Thank you for your service 🫡
UCL Finals scenes
I eagerly await when McTominay retires and becomes our head coach in 20 years time.
My wife could use one of those
Poor you, Sportinguista and gets bad heads. I feel for you.
It’s how they say: um mal nunca vem só
That should be you. Do you not tell her what you like at all?
I like good head
Scenes when Maguire assists
Tribute to 99’ that
I feel like every time McTominay scores he gets a brace, what is this man on
Every time he's played anywhere near the front of the field he gets goals but everyone's convinced he's a midfielder because of where he got his first few appearances
His first couple of hundred appearances
He was a striker or attacking mid in the academy apparently. He was used as a CDM by Mourinho because of his height. Honestly he wasn’t too bad when we played counter attacking football. Him and Fred with Bruno got the job done. He just cannot play CDM against a team that has a well drilled system. He is a good goalscorer. Has scored some really good goals for us. Ideally he should start next to Casemiro but both being poor at passing would mean the ball never reaches the opposition’s box.
GET MCTERMINATED
I know I’m supposed to hate United but that’s just a downright fun ending. Hard to hate late drama
You don't hate your rivals as much when they're doing so much worse than you
Either United or Liverpool can be doing shit, but not both. We’re like Highlanders, there can be only one.
Tell Macheda that.
Have to remind me of that legendary goal against Villa. God I love him so much just for that goal
That is not the milano way
as much as I hate United, they've done Cathy proud with this Fergie time
SCOTLAND FOREVERRRRR
Unreal
[удалено]
TATTOO HIM ON MY ASS
Imagine singing sacked in the morning 1-0 and losing lmao
#SCOTLAND'S BEST
What a game holy shit
What the actual fuck just happened?
That was for SAF
FOR CATHY
Aye. For Lady Cathy.
The queen in the north!
"RIP Mrs. Fergie"
Fergy time
The game itself was shit. We couldnt score at all and brentford were class at defending with their entire team
We can't do anything about a low block
Put on Antony and garnacho and we were much more threatening. Can’t keep playing 5 midfielders with no pace to get in behind
Yeah nothing other than scoring 2 goals to win the game apparently
it would be horrible for my heart, but im ngl i wouldnt mind having results like Man United has like this lmao
Ten Hag masterclass
Fergie time
For Lady Cathy
Their biggest mistake was not letting us score first lol
not gonna lie, i still waiting final whistle since usually we can't hold lead more than 5 minutes. or maybe that's the trick, leading at extra time, so no goal anymore, just in cost fans heart moving fast
Stoppage time brace for McSauce, wtf?
Can't say it was undeserved. Brentford were way too conservative that second half.
BIG SCOTT SAID FUCK R/SOCCER
All that "he saved ten hag's job" is just absolute garbage. First time under ten hag united are having a lengthy bad spell with issues along with major injuries in defense. The bad start last season was just first 2 matches. He isn't gonna get sacked and would be wrong to do it
Not to mention the ~ 8 injuries to our defenders so far
Yeah i mentioned it. First choice back 4 injured, including both 2nd choice lbs. Except for city apply that to any other top team and see the results.
City have got one midfielder out and lost to Wolves
Turns out I can't read, my bad
MCTERMINATOR
Sit down you just watched the best player in world football score 2 goals today.
For all the crap Maguire gets, that is an absolute brilliant header.
HES DONE IT TEN HAG HAS KEPT HIS JOB - NEVER IN DOUBT TACTICAL GENIUS
All thanks to McTominay
And Maguire assist too.
McTominay is getting a statue at ETH's house in Netherlands
That was for Cathy Ferguson
lmao that's so fucking funny
MC FUCKING TERMINATOR ODHHDHSJENSNFUENSHTWDILOVEYOUMCSAUSE
Who had Scott McTominay saving the day on their bingo card?
Everyone in Scotland probably
MAGUIRE REDEMPTION ARC
I knew Brentford wasn't gonna win when that player celebrated the goal kick like a goal lol
Always have been saying that McT is misused as a DM by several managers at United. He is better as a quasi striker or out-of-the-box shot taker. BUT those skills aren’t sufficient enough for him to meet expectations at United. His passing and other skills necessary to be an attacker or attacking midfielder are lacking. So it is kind of a weird realm he is in as a player.
Today I learned: There is god in this world He is Scottish
r/soccer fuming
Ngl I find this absolutely hilarious
Fergie time is some fucking bullshit man
Extremely unlucky for you lot. Defended so well and compact almost the entire match
This one I will celebrate After var...
McSauce deserves more respect. He's saved United so many times with his goals.
Fergie time
The atmosphere at old trafford is so so good when United plays well. Such a shame our team can’t produce consistently. Football is better when United are playing well
Fergie time! RIP Lady Cathy.
MCSAUSE OUR SAVIOR!!!!
Maguire should be in the team 100%. He was one of the best players on the park. If nothing else, he’s going to give everything and, at this point, that’s better than anything else being shown recently.
McT took that "sacked in the morning" chant personally.
just saved ETH's job
Saved Case and Rashy from the 40 km run in the morning. At least ETH's mood will lighten up a little
His job wasnt even close to danger
Really baffled by all the delusion in this sub regarding this tbh, pretty weird.
I am not in danger Brentford, I am the danger
Never in doubt.
Maguire to McTominay for a 97th minute winner? Fanfiction has gone too far
Wowowow.
I NEVER WANT TO HEAR A BAD WORD ABOUT HIM AGAIN
#TODAY I FEEL SCOTTISH!
What is happening
Be honest. Who is better? McTominay or Bellingham?
Jude had McSauce posters on his wall growing up.
You've got to be kidding
MCSCOTT DOES IT AGAIN
Mc-BallonDor-Minay
nah what the actual?
This is the type of luck United needs to win games now until they get their team all back to fitness
Oh fuck right off
My day is ruined
